Anyone receive their Fall 2014 issue #265 of EGM yet? Call out!

Yeah, I'm interested in which other covers exist. I always seem to end up with #1 of x. I'm fine with quarterly as long as they can keep the EGM train rolling along. Between this, Retro Gamer, RETRO, and the Internet.. I have enough to read.

A new magazines appears! #264 (Cover 1 of 4) Summer 2014

Thanks Kiwi.. PM coming.

I've been trying to grab this for someone who has a letter printed in it: http://www.retromags.com/magazines/category/usa/game-players/game-players-issue-53#.U2fYBZDD_MI I keep getting a "traffic limit error". I thought the bandwidth limit resets every day. I've been trying this one file for a few days now at specific times of the day such as 12:01am with no luck. Is this just a ploy from RS to get you to pay money or is it really exceeding the limit that fast?

Got mine today as well...

I wanted to grab an original style logo issue for my collection so I asked my girlfriend to pick up an issue at a local bookstore. It didn't work out and now I have two of these... Anyone up for a trade? I'd like to have a "Cover 1 of 4"

Yeah, the baggy was barely on. Not a big deal...they are sending a replacement. My other 260+ EGM's are in mint and about 90% are unopened. I am OCD when it comes to the condition. I used to buy 2 subscriptions so I could read one and save the other. I need to take a new picture, but here's my collection from 2004

I ended up getting the modern logo version... The only thing that sucks is that it didn't survive the mail and has a bunch of torn pages towards the back.

I'd rather have this than EGM...

I like it. They should stick with this logo. It reminds me of happy classic Japanese gaming mags like Famitsu.

Cool, I still like the original logo style best. This... I miss the EGM covers where they would just use a close-up of a kick ass game..

Same here. I figured those two buyer's guides were to hold us over for the impending delay.

Yeah, only the PS4 content has been changed. Oh well.. At least it doesn't count towards our subscription issues... does it?

Ahh right, yeah I keep forgetting it's 6 issues per year. Maybe they should change it to Electronic Gaming Bi-Monthly. I don't have an iPad. I'd probably check it out on the Kindle if they added it to the Android store. I use Comicat to read my MAD and Retro Gamer mag collections. They look excellent on the 8.9" screen.

Where can you subscribe for 2 years? I only see the 1 year for $24.99 deal on egmnow.com http://egmmag.com/subscribe/ I think they would get a lot more subscribers if they added free digital versions for each subscription. The EGMi stuff is pretty cool and I would probably browse through it if it worked on the Kindle Fire HD. I received a gift subscription of Entertainment Weekly and they also give you the digital versions for free. Each week you can download a new issue to a virtual bookshelf on your Android/iOS device. It would be really neat to have this with EGM. Maybe they could also release random classic issues from time to time to add to your virtual collection. I have several PDF and CBR copies of old game mags on my 8.9" Kindle Fire HD and they are really fun to read this way.

I was hoping you could connect the PS4 into the HDMI input on the Xbox One, but there is a bit of lag which would make it too hard to play most games. I'm probably just going to hold off on the One for now. The PS4 has some voice command stuff and we canceled our digital cable since Netflix, internet TV, and basic HD is a very cheap alternative. I wouldn't really get much out of it right now. The video conferencing stuff is pretty cool on the One. I like how the camera follows you. I think Microsoft should stop requiring customers to pay $60/year for Live just to use Netflix.

Got this today. I'm not really interested in the One, but it goes nicely with the PS4 cover edition.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I haven't received it yet, but hopefully I will. It reminds me of the old EGM Buyer's Guide editions I think they should release a "Best Of" issue next year to commemorate 25 years of EGM. With enough promotion I think they would sell quite a few of them, and in addition, they might even get more subbers.

No problem. That was the angle where the flash disappeared. It would have been better if the cover wasn't turned up a bit. It needs to be flattened for a while.

I have in the past, but the glare from the flash makes it so you can't see a large portion of the cover. Here's the next best thing. I adjusted it in Photoshop. Not perfect, but it should do.

They probably just forgot to change it. We are now seeing them every 4 months. Summer 2013 Fall 2013 I'm guessing the next will be Winter 2013 (Mid December) What's strange is that, according to EGM's customer service, I still have the same expiration date. Even though I am getting half as many issues now. Here's my pic (2000x1500px)

Got mine yesterday too. So now they are 4 issues a year, so I assume that means our subscriptions will least 3 years instead of 1.

Wow, nice timing eh? Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad they lasted long enough to have a PS4 launch cover, and I hope they can keep it going.

Heads up for Issue #261 Anyone receive it yet? Issue #260 said "display until September 23rd, 2013" so I would assume we should be seeing #261 soon, otherwise we may not see it at all.
